A Google spokesperson has confirmed that the Nexus 7 won't feature music, magazine or TV show categories when it is launched in the UK on July 19.
The company failed to strike the appropriate deals with several media groups, meaning that the full library of content expected will not be available, although UK users will still be able to rent movies and purchase books via Google Play.
Google was unable to reveal when these features will appear in the Google Play store in the UK, telling TechRadar: "We don't have anything more to share on timing. We plan to continue expanding the movies and TV shows category to more countries in the coming months."
The amount on offer for the Nexus 7 is still impressive, especially for a $199 device, but this setback could be especially damaging for Google if Apple decides to go ahead with the rumoured iPad mini.

ODAMEX v0.6.1 is released. ODAMEX is a modified Doom source port. Supported platforms are Windows, Mac, Linux and FreeBSD. It has been designed to allow client/server-based Doom gameplay over the Internet and LAN. It currently supports the traditional old-school style of Deathmatch and a Cooperative mode, but it also includes other game modes such as Teamplay and Capture the Flag. It also supports an array of editing features, including the BOOM map format, DeHackEd and BEX patch support and support for several additional music formats, such as MOD and OGG.
ODAMEX v0.6.1 Changelog:
General Odamex Changes:
- General bug fixes and code optimizations.
- Console optimizations. Includes a fix for aliases that contain parameters.
- New co_blockmapfix variable that fixes hit-scan collision on actors that overlap more than one blockmap. This is useful due to vanilla Doom having a bug that had some shots appear to hit but do not do the damage they are intended to.
- Added several ZDoom 1.23 actors, notably thing thrusters.
- The vanilla disk loading icon now displays when the in-game cache is being updated.
Odamex Client Changes:
- Renderer improvements.
- Added the allowing of arbitrary window sizes, as well as fixed a bug for the maximized non-fullscreen windows being cut off the bottom.
- A variety of spectator fixes and enhancements.
- New voice announcer system.
- Force enemy colors with r_forceenemycolor and color with r_enemycolor variables.
- Force team colors with r_forceteamcolor and color with r_teamcolor variables.
- Addition of turnspeeds command.
- Associating .odd files with the Odamex client will now load Odamex and automatically play the demo.
- Alt + F4 and closing the client via the window "X" no longer brings up the quit game prompt, it simple closes the client.
Odamex Server Changes:
- Added sv_maxplayersperteam.
- Addition of server lock, spectator, and team color icons in ag-odalaunch.
Odamex Launcher Changes:
- You can now right-click a server in Odalaunch to get a server's IP.

Square Enix has announced a new version of Final Fantasy VIIwhich will be heading to PC soon.
While the game saw a boxed release in 1997, the latest iteration will be digital only and bolstered by a number of tweaks.
Chief among these a new character booster system that will allow you to crank your HP, MP and Gil levels up to their maximum at a click of a button, mitigating any bottlenecks. Whether this will take the form of a free function or microtransaction remains unclear.
Fittingly, the game also introduces cloud saving, allowing you to pick up your game on any PC. There will also be upscaled visuals and 36 achievements to unlock if you need any further encouragement to take up Avalanche's fight one more time.
See the announcement trailer below, or head over to the official site.

"Bill Gates, in an interview with Charlie Rose last night, defended the move to Metro-ize Windows 8 and focus solely on the tablet experience (here's the video — tablet talk starts around 28 minutes in). When asked how traditional PC users will react, he explained that the world is moving into tablets, and a new PC needs to have both experiences integrated together. Also, he defended the move to build the Surface while charging his competitors a bundle for Windows 8. He says users have access to both experiences, whether it is a signature Microsoft one, or from an OEM. Is the a sign the desktop is dead or dying?"Gates stopped short of saying the traditional PC is dead, but dodged direct questions about its future. This is a big change to the stance he has advocated in years pas

Hotline Miami is a top-down, retro inspired game that looks immediately similar to the old and original Grand Theft Auto games.Even the premise is loosely the same: do jobs for a voice on a phone. Well, an answering machine. And they're very violent jobs.And you'll do them wearing a rubber mask. In 1980s Miami, in a neon hued world that pulsates as you play. Text and talking heads tell the story, and an era-appropriate soundtrack drives you along.
1/9 Will Smith never went here.
PreviousNextView all
Hotline Miami's a game for PC, Mac and consoles (unspecified). Gameplay's fast, simple and brutal - enemies can be disgustingly dispatched and blood spurts everywhere. There's a video of this below.There are more than 20 "multi-screen" levels, 35 weapons and 25 masks. And it's these masks that alter reality and change gameplay, depending on which one you wear.Hotline Miami comes from the brain of notable Swedish developer, Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström. He's got Independent Game Festival pedigree: a finalist in 2008 with Clean Asia!, and a Nuovo Award winner in 2010 with Tuning.Developer Dennaton's putting Hotline Miami together, and graphic artist Dennis Wedin's doing the pictures.The game's due out this autumn. But you'll be able to play it at the Rezzed game show in Brighton this weekend. Tickets are available, and the event's run by Eurogamer and our best friend Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

Blacklight Retribution is a free-to-play shooter that arrived on the PC earlier this year, and it's now easier than ever to download and play it. The game's been added to Steam, so jump over to the game's page, click Play Game (as long as you have Steam installed first), and you're good to go.
To celebrate, Steam is providing a starter pack for the game for half off. Usually, the items in the pack would cost you $20, but for a limited time you can get two guns, two gun mods, two armor pieces, two equipment gear, a seven-day XP boost, and 3000 GP to spend for $9.99. We'd suggest playing first, of course, before you start spending money on a free-to-play game all willy-nilly.

The free-to-play, browser-based Game of Thrones MMO from Bigpoint has finally picked up a title. The Unity-powered MMO will now be known as Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms.
The game is set take place right at the beginning of the series, as King Robert Baratheon is killed and the entire kingdom of Westeros falls into chaos. Bigpoint is working to craft the game with Norwegian studio Artplant, which also helped create Bigpoint's Battlestar Galactica Online.
Few gameplay details have been revealed, apart from that fact that "players are challenged to form alliances through Player vs. Player (PvP), Siege combat and politics to control Westeros." More details should become clear at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, where the first gameplay trailer will debut.

A handful of players using Wine, a program that allows Linux users to run Windows, recently reported being suddenly and unreasonably banned fromDiablo 3. These players have sent in support tickets and one in particular notes his account remains banned, posting the following response from Blizzard:
"An additional review of the action taken against the Diablo 3 account has been completed. We have confirmed our initial findings, and the account action will not be reversed or changed."
These players assert that they have not cheated. Blizzard community managerBashiok has responded to these claims, saying that players are banned for cheating, not for running benevolent software. "We've extensively tested for false positive situations, including replicating system setups for those who have posted claiming they were banned unfairly," he writes. "We've not found any situations that could produce a false positive, have found that the circumstances for which they were banned were clear and accurate, and we are extremely confident in our findings.
"Playing the game on Linux, although not officially supported, will not get you banned – cheating will."
A Reddit post (now complete with a "[Misleading Title]" preface) saw more Wine players speak up, saying that they can play with no problems. It appears the bans themselves may be more isolated than the initial thread made them appear, and they may be less scandalous, at least on Blizzard's end. The moral of the story is, as always: Don't cheat, whiners Winers.

Revolution Software, the team behind Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword, is teaming up with graphic novel artist Dave Gibbons for a new title, Eurogamerreports. Gibbons is responsible for the art and lettering of Alan Moore'sWatchmen, and is currently the artist on Marvel's The Secret Service, written byKick-Ass author Mark Millar.
Gibbons and Revolution founder Charles Cecil have collaborated before, with Gibbons contributing to Beneath a Steel Sky and providing art and a digital prequel comic for Broken Sword: Director's Cut. Gibbons says the new game is in an unexplored area that isn't France and isn't catacombs. He'll have story input and direct the look of the whole thing, even if he doesn't do all of the artwork himself.
"It's going to be something that combines a lot of the things I'm perhaps best known for, which are a design sense and a sense of symbolism and maybe an obsessive attention to background detail," Gibbons says. "It will look like a Dave Gibbons game. There would be no point in Charles collaborating with me if it was going to look like a Joe Blow game." Not to be confused with "a Jon Blowgame," of course.

Last time we saw Skytex, it was serving up a warm slice of Windows 7 on its tablets. Now, it's back with a pair of Androids, one under each arm. The Skypad Protos ($279) is 9.7 inches of Ice Cream Sandwich, while the Skypad Gemini ($179) measures in at just 7. Both slates run on 1.2GHz Cortex A8 silicon, shacked-up with a Mali 400 GPU. Other internals include 8GB storage, and 1GB or RAM, HDMI and a microSD card slot for expansion (up to 32GB). The larger Protos has an IPS screen, and a pair of cameras (5- and 2-megapixels) while the smaller Gemini just has the one (2-megapixel). It's not all about what's inside those box these days, as both also come with 5GB of cloud storage, showing these slates know what's on trend right now. With competition getting intense at the cheaper end of the scale, though, is there enough to get your credit card out when they start shipping this month?

We can always count on iFixit to get down and dirty with its spudger and the latest tablet tech, and we're not going home empty handed today. The latest victim happens to be Google's recently announcedNexus 7, which has achieved a "repairability score" of 7 out of 10 (the Kindle Fire squeaked one notch past with an 8), with many accessible components including a replaceable battery and standard Phillips screws. While the site's ultimate goal is to illustrate the delicate process of opening our gadgets while leaving them unharmed, the good folks at iFixit never fail to entertain us in the process, with two dozen high-res photos of the Nexus 7's innards littering the 21-step repair guide. The most disappointing discovery appears to be the display, which is permanently affixed to its Corning glass covering, but given the tablet's $200 price tag, replacing such a component is not likely to be a cost-effective proposition. There's plenty more to gawk over, but you'll need to head to iFixit to, well, get your fix. Click on through at our source link below.

To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn). There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn). Sometimes those seasons can get a bit convoluted, however -- or such is the premise of Google's "Spring cleaning in summer" post, outlining the end of a handful of tech offerings. Because heck, even a company as big as Google has to pick its battles. On the chopping block this time out are the Google Mini enterprise search system, the Google Talk Chatback widget, Google Video, iGoogle and the Symbian search app. Of course, the company won't be leaving people hanging entirely. Google's pushing users toward existing properties like the Meebo bar for Talk Chatback and YouTube for Google Video (which already stopped taking uploads a while back), the latter of which will be fully integrated into the more popular video offering come August. More info on what all this means in the source link below.

Looking to your online pals for some Chrome Web Store suggestions? If so, the folks at Google have just made accessing said list of recommendations much easier. The outfit unveiled a new feature for the app repository that allows you to see all of the add-ons that your Google+ mates are raving about. You'll also be able to provide some tips of your own thanks to the addition of the trusty +1 button on the detail page of each offering. Just in case you forget to hit the "From Your Circles" link before browsing, each application will bear a stamp of approval -- should it be deemed worthy of the extra clicks. If you're short on acquaintances or are still new to the social network, the Chrome dev team's lists will appear for you as well.

Web giant to bring blockbuster franchise to China with Call of Duty Online
Activision has signed a new deal with social games titan Tencent to bring Call of Duty Online to China.
The upcoming free-to-play Call of Duty Online, which has been in development for more than two years, will be exclusively operated by the web giant in the region.
Activision states the new gaming model featured in the title has been designed specifically to the Chinese market, and will allow players will be able to personalise their characters, weapons and equipment.
There will also be an in-game store tailored for Chinese users.
"We are very excited about our relationship with Tencent and the opportunities for gaming in China," said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.

Samung has failed in its attempt to have the temporary ban on its Galaxy 10.1 tablet lifted.
It was reported last week that Apple won its patent case against the company, which led to the temporary ban being imposed on the device and prohibiting its sale within the US.
Samsung is posed to launch an appeal against the ban on July 30th, however, the company requested for the ban to be lifted until the on-going battle between itself and Apple was resolved.
However, the request was denied by US District Judge Lucy Koh and the ban on the tablet remains.
Apple's case against Samsung and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 involves the device's supposed infringement of the design and styling of the iPad and iPad 2.
Whilst the Tab 10.1 remains banned, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 has been protected from the patent case after undergoing extensive styling changes from the original device.

eyeCan product lets users control windows, apps, media, the Metro UI any more by passing the hand over the screen.
Israeli firm eyeSight already offers its hand-waving tech to app developers on Android, iOS, previous Windows versions and even TV makers.
Now it's prepping the tech for Microsoft's radically re-imagined new Windows OS.
Its software-only technology has been designed to be simple to integrate. It offers OEMs an SDK to quickly gesture control into the features and applications at a code level. But there's also a solution for Windows 8 that requires no code at all.
“The Windows 8 user-interface has been designed beautifully for touch,” said Gideon Shmuel, CEO, eyeSight Mobile Technologies, “and OEMs are now hungry for a simple-to-integrate, mass market answer to touch-free control. And as hardware-based solutions incur significant costs, time and real-estate issues, software is clearly the best way to achieve this.”

While it might be strange to associate Limbo with "goodies," the new special edition is chock-full of them. The boxed Limbo Special Edition includes PC and Mac versions of Limbo (sans DRM), the soundtrack, art cards, a nifty sticker ofLimbo's boy, "awesome 3D glasses" and a Steam key for the game. If the inclusion of 3D glasses hasn't tipped you off, the special edition of Limbo also features a new anaglyph 3D mode.
The Limbo Special Edition is available right now for $25 on Amazon. If you likeLimboas much as we do, it seems like a pretty nice package.
